Experience
Undergraduate Research in Machine Learning with Imbalanced Data: December 2018 - Present
Investigated novel combinations of skew insensitive splitting criteria and oblique splits to improve Decision Tree performance on imbalanced data.
Teaching Assistant: Data Structures and Object Oriented Programming (CMSC 256) - VCU Computer Science: December 2018 - Present
Co-Lead and facilitated weekly lab sessions with groups of 30+ undergraduate Computer Science students under Professor Debra Duke. Wrote lab activities for select course topics.
VCU Nanoinformatics FiND Project: September 2017 - Present
Collaborated on a multi-disciplinary (Computer Science and Nano-particle Engineering) team in the continued development of FiND - a Framework for Intelligent Nano Discovery. Built Machine Learning based models for recognition of Nano-particle adverse drug reactions (NER). Collaborated on, modeled, and developed a pipeline to combine the various sub-components (Document Classification, NER, etc.) of FiND into a unified system.
Gateway Math : January 2017 - Present
Set-up and configured Linux server for hosting, drafted, created, and developed website adhering to latest web development standards, conducted field research to target worksheet development work to specific areas, developed back-end PHP framework to allow users to dynamically create math worksheets.
Private Tutor: August 2016 - Present
Private tutor in Mathematics, Computer Science, Programming and Physics. Gathered clients, created lesson plans, wrote worksheets.
Research Assistant: June 2016 - October 2016
Research Assistant in the Virginia Commonwealth University Natural Language Processing Lab under Dr. Bridget McInnes. Write CPAN PERL modules for labs to utilize for literature based discovery. Gather results based on hypothesis and evaluate.
Lead Developer: March 2015 - April 2016
Solely utilized web development and java programming knowledge to develop back-end plugins (regularly handling >50 simultaneous users) and front-end scoreboards and leaderboards for the Minefrost Network. Quickly learned new development libraries and provided extensive code documentation and maintenance on plugins produced. Set up, configured MySQL databases and developed dynamic, engaging webpages to display data gathered by plugins running on the server.
Team Member/Developer: February 2016 – June 2016
